The Fighter is the embodiment of physical prowess, martial skill, and sheer force of will. Whether honed on the battlefield, in gladiatorial arenas, or through a life of rigorous training, the Fighter stands at the forefront of conflict. You might be a seasoned knight, a swordmaster trained in ancient martial techniques, or a brawler whose fists speak louder than words.
An adaptation of the Cutter. Unlike a D&D fighter, this version is not automatically versed in ranged combat. A paladin is usually a fighter multiclassed into Chosen.
